Every so often I have one couple who I click with so well that I wish they could get married over & over again…because I just don’t want to believe the wedding day has come and gone. Megan & Scott are one of those couples. We have a lot in common…Megan was a single Mom who met Scott at work, (which is exactly how I met Hot Husband), our love for our Irish heritage, and our strong sense of family, to name a few. Megan & Scott are so laid back and fun to be around, and although the weather outside was cold and brisk, we were greeted with so much warmth when we arrived at Megan’s parent’s house that we immediately felt right at home.
Missy was my 2nd shooter for the day, and I had Lindsay, one of my 2008 Brides, as my assistant. Together they are my dream team, and I can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work throughout the day.
*Warning…HUGE blog post ahead…
An Irish wedding coin, which Megan kept in the pocket of her dress.
Would you look at those shoes?
Megan’s beautiful bouquet had a mix of peonies (my absolute favorite flower…they smell heavenly), roses, and tulips. It smelled so good I wanted to walk around with it in my hands all day.
Her makeup was done by Mallory of The Dump Boutique & Image Studio in Marcellus. She told me that Megan used to be her babysitter when she was little, and even back then she would practice putting makeup on her, lol! She did a wonderful job, and I highly recommend her!
Megan’s sister, Sarah, helping her daughter with her jewelry.
Sarah & Megan’s Mom helping her finish up. I love that Megan bought all of her wedding jewelry from artists on Etsy. Doesn’t she look stunning?
Their ceremony was held at Holy Family in Camilus.
One of my favorite parts of the day is my time with the Bride & Groom. Throughout the day it had snowed, rained and hailed, but thankfully it stopped long enough for us to get some portraits outside. It was *freezing*, and I have to give huge props to Megan for being such a good sport. Andy, their chauffeur, let us borrow his coat to keep her warm in between shots.
These next few are my favorites!
I love it when bridal parties play in the street!
Scott & his best man, Scott. Lol.
Thank you for braving the cold for this shot, girls!
Megan & Scott’s reception was held at Drumlins Country Club. I cannot thank their Event Manager, Angie Petrarca, enough for all of the hospitality she extended us. The food was terrific, and she accommodated all of our needs. I can’t wait for my next opportunity to work with her.
On to some dancing…here’s their first dance as husband & wife.
This one was bringing me to tears.
Entertainment was provided by Ted from Twist and Shout Productions. I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future!
Scott is a huge Syracuse fan, and he actually proposed to Megan on the jumbotron at the Carrier Dome.
The rings.
I’ve been wanting to set up an area to get more candid shots of guests, and this was the first opportunity I’ve had to experiment with that idea. I call this the Candid Corner, and Drumlins has the *perfect* area for it. Unfortunately, the way it worked out I ended up giving Lindsay my backup equipment to shoot it while I was taking shots of the formalities. She did a fabulous job for her first time shooting with me!
And last, but not least, (I can’t believe I’m posting this, lol), a shot from the Groom himself of him and yours truly. Maybe he’ll be a 2nd shooter someday?
